North River: From Source to Mouth August 1, 2009

For such a big river, the North River sure keeps itself quiet. That was not always the case, as the life on the river was once vibrant and varied, from salt-hay gatherers to shipbuilders. Historically, questions abound: was there really a battle fought on the North River in the beginning of the 20th century? Where does the river form, and what were its earliest uses? And why is it the ???North??? River anyway? Join John Galluzzo, author of The North River: Scenic Waterway of the South Shore, for a trip through time, and to seek out the most beautiful viewing spots along this storied waterway, from Pembroke to the sea.
